Today’s Run:  Rest Day

Having a running partner is a great way to be held accountable for your fitness goals.  If it is a yucky, rainy morning and you do not feel like lacing up those running shoes, your partner may be just what you need to get you motivated and out that door.  A good running partner is worth his/her weight in gold.

Sometimes a running partner takes on an unusual form.  Take the cattle in our area.  There are a few roads with fields of cows and bulls on our various routes.  They greet us each morning with “Moo’s” and watch us intently as we pass on our way.  Every now and then they will run along the fence row with us as we run along side them.

This past week, we did have a young bull charge the fence as we were running past.  That was a little disconcerting!  I have never been so thankful for fencing as I was that morning!  He was not a supportive running partner.
